Georges Bataille on art and the real world .... u know it just speaks to me, siyanara real world, i'll go with art

Art constitutes a minor free zone outside action, paying for its freedom by giving up the real world.

a few pages later

We can consciously and clearly distinguish what is connected only in ignorance. Reason for me is limited only by itself. If we act, we stray outside the motivation of equity and a rational order of acts. Between the two worlds only a single relationship is possible: action has to be rationally limited by a principle of freedom. The rest is silence.

The needed equanimity of mind prevent me from being involved in political discourse. Being calm (mental equity) is a state that is deeply desired, and so that is that, oh yes, Bataille helps it all seem so clear now.
